Chris
Poland is probably best known for his phenomenal guitar
work with several major label bands including Megadeth (Capitol
Records) and his progressive metal band, Damn the Machine
(A&M Records). He also released a highly acclaimed instrumental
guitar record in 1990 entitled, Return to Metalopolis (Enigma
Records), that thoroughly impressed critics and garnered
much interest from the music-buying public to the extent
that the record was reissued by Fuel 2000 Records in 1998
and in 2002 by Lion Music Europe. Chris Poland has a reputation
as a true original voice on the guitar, who continues to
evolve and take the instrument to new previously unattained
levels both technically and inspirationally with OHM an
incredible mind-blowing instrumental fusion power trio.

There
is no doubt in many peoples minds that Chris Poland deserves
to be placed among the greats of the genre such as, Shawn
Lane, Greg Howe, Frank Gambale, and Allan Holdsworth. Poland
is the real deal and more when it comes to the guitar. Gliding
from unusually flowing chordings to technical oddities and
inspiring leads, his incredible use of legato and tremolo
bar combined with his bizarre scaling create an exotic flow
of notes which somehow create order from chaos.
